Waiting just off the stage, I felt ready to perform .Yesterday, Wainui Beach School went to the Turanganui Schools Maori Cultural Festival at the Showgrounds .We had a performance of 13 minutes and that felt like it went really fast! We have spent all year practicing our songs and moves .I have really enjoyed learning Utaina the most.
I was in front row and i was ready to take action. It was finally time to go on stage we walked into our lines that we had practiced to do .Then Hunter started to sing Tu Mai Ra , we started to walk to the front of the stage in a triangle .everyone started to clap and then i was happy.
After a while we did the haka and I tried to stay as strong as i could while doing it .When we started I knew all the boys where pumped up to do the haka .the haka was super strong and really fast and at the end everyone did a pukana and had really serious face .I felt so happy after we had finished and I was pretty tired.
